Linguistic Theory: The Discourse of Fundamental Works

By Robert de Beaugrande

Book Overview

This is a major survey of the leading work of the most important twentieth-century linguisticians, including de Saussure, Firth, Chomsky, Halliday and van Dijk. An understanding of past theories is crucial to studying modern linguistics, and this volume carefully presents both the range of theories as they developed chronologically, and a historical perspective on that development.
